do they turn on when you turn the lights on manually?

are you sure you plugged everything in correctly? the ballast bos and all 6 or so wires that go with it, did you plug in the ballast box?

what kit did you get? after you plugged in the ballast box did you plug the car into the box?

i have the same issue... problem is that u bought the same kit i have probly.. there not dual hid,s meaning you only have low beams and i noticed that to.. when i unlock the car they dont come on this is because when u push the button it signals the high beams to come on so u can find ur car at night try this.... turn them on manually then turn on the high beams and look bet you have no light

whats wrong with that?

also try pressing the info and reset button at the same time hold them down for a while and let go, scroll through the menu and see if you turned off auto lights

i have a problem with my hids.. dont mean to threadjack.. but where do u hook the hot wire up to from the ballasts.??? i was going to put it in the fuse box but then i would have wires blocking the lid from going back on

outtamymind

i hooked up my main hot wire to the positive terminal in the fuse block with a terminal ring connector.

whatd u do with the wires when put the fuse cover back on? Also I have the connector that looks like it goes in like a fuse.. sorry dont know the actual name of it haha

thanks

you got the whole kit right?

outtamymind

nothing the way i hooked mine up, the wires follow the same path as the positive wire for the positive terminal on the fuse block. that big post that sticks out unscrews

Whats wrong with that? The cobalt housings dont have much light scatter. As long as you aim them correctly it fine.

Show me a picture of real HID bulbs in a stock housing with a crisp clean cutoff and admit I was wrong. You will not be able to do this though.

Theres a pic on here somewhere. I dont remember whos tho. I will look around to try and find it.

Heres a link to a thread that you can see some pics of peoples cutoff's with HIDs in stock housings.

slowswap

No link?

I have HIDs with projectors...not very special looking. Hmm...I don't really have the problem (with lights not coming on automatically)...recently my lights have been flickering though. I have to have the ballasts very secure to stop this.

those are a TLs lights

slowswap

Good job. You post a picture of Acura TL cutoff's. They have factory HID's. lol

2007victoryred

If you read the thread there is another pic on the 2nd page. You should also read what ppl say about it that have them. Theres no need to be a smart ass either. I believe the pic on that page is actually of an rsx not a TL.

c0ld29

Hey I was just saying that was a TLs on the posted link, I'm not gonna bust your ***** for putting em in stock housing.

that is way too close to justify anything....even that you can see it lights up the fence way above where the light should hit, i can see it will have glare problem already

but either way lets not get this thread locked like all the other ones, you can never get everyone to agree on this topic

2007victoryred

Agreed
